SYRIAN FETA SPREAD



Syrian Feta Spread image

This tasty spread can be served with crackers or bread. I like it on melba toast. Recipe is adapted from New Land Vineyard's recipe. I like this on half a bagel, topped with sliced tomato and cucumber. This is also a great spread to use on a sandwich, instead of mayo. I have made this with two tbsp butter (trying to cut the fat) and it is just fine, just not as creamy. If you are in a terrific hurry, just throw everything into the food processor.

FETA SPREAD

This is adapted from "Emeril at the Grill", a cookbook I enjoy very much. I used this spread on lamb burgers, but it would also be great as a vegetable dip (thinned a bit) or a sandwich spread. The original recipe calls for mint, which I don't care for, so I replaced it with basil. Cooking time does not include time to chill.
